Package: libxml2

Bug #776254 requested that libxml2 uses ICU for character set conversion because of some unspecified issues with Chromium. This adds an otherwise useless, multi-megabyte dependency (larger than libxml2 itself). I propose to revert that change. This means that libxml2 will use iconv for character conversion as before.

I'm sure that the Chromium issues can be worked around in another way. I'm also disappointed that the Chromium developers never reached out to the libxml2 maintainers.
